Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation with reduced intensity conditioning for chronic granulomatous disease complicated by invasive Aspergillus infection.

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare disorder characterized by recurrent infections, often resulting in impaired quality of life and death. Allogeneic BMT provides a definitive cure for CGD, but carries a significant risk of mortality and morbidity. The risk is higher for those who have invasive fungal infection prior to transplant. Reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) is associated with less toxicity from the conditioning agents and may provide an alternative option for all non-malignant diseases. We report a case of successful allogeneic BMT after RIC for a case of X-linked CGD complicated by severe invasive aspergillosis (IA).
